On employment, there will be extension of opportunities for training through positive discrimination favour of women.
Rondy has also encouraged women to fight for equality in employment through the courts.
The measures the French government is taking put to hame the actions of past Labour governments. The Socialist Party has also been much bolder in promoting women within the party.
Since 1973 there has been a scheme of quotas for women throughout the party, though there is still discrimination in selection of parliamentary candidates as there is no requirement to shortlist any women candidates.
But the British Equal Pay and Sex Discrimination Acts show that it is not enough just to pass laws to end discrmination. It women don't fight against employers who fail to implement them (and, in France, against the Catholic Church which will try to sabotage any liberalisation of _ abortion), the reforms of the Mitterrand government will simply remain pieces of paper.
